IMHO, it has nothing to do with the complexity of being in a real band. If we're going that way might as well listen to The Roots - a full blown hip-hop band. They're not called legendary for nothing.
Hindi ko napanood yung vid but im sure it doesn't represent real hip-hop. I listened to rock before when I was in HS. And I can say it was a good phase.
Mind you "sampling" is more complex than one would think. Especially when using samples for different songs. Rapping is harder than it seems. They say its the modern sonnet. There are different aspects of it that can be studied.
Yes im the hip-hop kind of guy. But it doesn't mean i dislike rock. In fact I listen to some but not often.
Hell, real hip-hop even disses the hip-hop of today. Try your ears on some blackstar, mos def, talib kweli, lupe fiasco (food and liquor, the cool), the roots, immortal technique, blu, common, etc. and one would realize just how wide the topics/concepts are.
Drake? Flo rida? Plies? Souljah boy? Lil wayne?
Andrew E? Bullsh*t yan. They're more club music (jeep music for andrew E) than anything. Sorry sa mga nakikinig sa kanila pero yeah, i'd rather listen to farting sounds.
Gumagawa lang ng pangalan yan. Magsasayang ka lang ng oras kung papatulan. Might as well focus energy on practicing or what not. Peace and of course Amen! Ü
There's only good sh*t and bad sh*t. For me at least.
